older shows had more energy but good show.
older shows need to be remastered.

One of the best live performances caught on video
The band sounds great, there are cameras everywhere, Angus puts on a show (as always), and the crowd was amazing. Definitely one of the best live performances I've seen on video.

ACDC Frenzy..don't be shy..my two cents and five stars
First a quick word: After reading the other reviews about the camera madness, I was really reluctant to purchase this. I had it in my cart, deleted it, ordered it, tried to cancel, but didn't get to it in time. Bottom line, I am really glad that I bought it. The camera's in my opinion are not crazy. There are alot of point of view changes, double screens, sometimes triple split screens, but camera madness? I didn't feel that way at all. Once I got used to the POV changes, the concert flowed and I liked the tempo of the changes and face it, these guys move around, especially Angus. It's ACDC!Now why I rated five stars. The picture is amazing playing through a ps3 on a new HDTV, I was truly happy with the picture quality, so amazingly bright and clear, and the sound, is also incredible, so clear in fact you can hear every nuance of Angus playing, even the occasional flubs (it happens to everyone once in a while!). All in all, this band is still great live, such high energy, such great songs. I thought the song choice was right on, this was in support of Black Ice, so why would they not play songs from it??? When you have a band with such a prolific career you are not going to satisfy everyone when a setlist is concerned. Also there were a few cute moments, the "strip tease" of Angus and the devil horns. As stated by other reviewers these fans are high energy and SO excited. Their jubilance was a great part of this show, they deserve a star all on their own!!! Where can I get a pair of those devil horns??I nearly forgot to talk about the extra features, forgive me! The backstage features are : The Fan, The Roadie and the Guitar Tech and the Meat. And another featuring the animation they used on the big screens. I enjoy the sections on the fans, there are some pretty wild fans in Argentina! So many slept out there overnight in storms and rain to get the best seats they could. Music really does unite people all over the world I also love the backstage looks. They had a soccer game the night before the concert and had to work two overnight crewss to get the stadium ready for ACDC, this was a huge show and required alot of work. I love seeing the stage builds, preparation, the guys coming out and getting a look at everything as it goes up. You see all those shots here and hear from the roadies and the guitar techs. You get shots of the setlist, guitar setups, interviews with many different people associated with putting on the show, including the film producer who talks about selecting Argentina and the challenges of setting up filming. You get to see them filming. Some very cool extras I must say. I also loved the animation (pink floyd and ozzy use animation on big screens too and I dig it)All in all the product deserves five stars, afterall, when it comes to blu-ray it's all about is it worth the money for the picture and sound, I haven't viewed the DVD but I would say YES.One thought, they had a very cool long cat walk with an extra stage in the center, this was used only once by Angus, during an extended guitar solo/jam. Brian occasionally went about half way along the catwalk, but I wondered why they didn't utilize it more. Just a random ??Anyway, I hope you enjoy this as much as I did. What a great band, I wish I had been there. Both ACDC and Argentina know how to rock.

Good stuff, but maybe not their best
I have been an AC/DC fan since I was 8 years old. That is a lot of years now. (I'm 43)I collect nearly everything I can concerning AC/DC. Yes, all album cover variants, etc. My wife loves me.This video is very good. The crowd in Argentina is really what made it good.The set list is pretty standard live stuff.Shot down in flames, and dog eat dog are a nice change of pace, and harken back to the earlier Bon material. Well Dog Eat Dog is earlier Bon material. Shot down in flames is from Highway to Hell, which was Bon's last album with the band.The band does a good job of chugging through the set list, and the crowd eats it up.Interestingly, over the past few tours, Brian seems to be taking over a bit of the spotlight from Angus. This is understandable, considering their age, and the effort it takes to pull off the antics Angus does every night. Frankly, I like the balance, as Brian is a loveable ham, and does a solid job of engaging the crowd while not overdoing it.Angus has really toned down the head bobbing and racing all over the stage. Still breaks out the Chuck Berry duck walk now and then, but his act is half of what is was when he was a younger man. Still kills it on the guitar!I still feel that Live at Donington is their best live video in the Brian era. Granted, they were much younger, and the show had a bit more energy; which I guess is what struck me about this video. The lads are getting old, and it shows a bit. Don't get me wrong, I couldn't do what they do night after night on these gigantic tours they pull off. I guess it was a harsh dose of reality that myself and the band are getting old.While I agree to a point with some of the reviews regarding the camera angles, I didn't find it too distracting. Especially when they would get a shot of some of the lovely ladies of Argentina in the crowd.I enjoyed the DVD, and will forever love this band.Fans casual or otherwise will want to add this to their collection.

Excellent video and audio transfer to Blu-ray
I have several AC/DC concerts. Live at donington and stiff upper lip. Those were dvd. I was looking for an ACDC concert that was fairly recent and blu-ray. So I took a chance on this one based on reviews.I thought the audio mix was pretty good. Brian Johnson's vocals were not drowned out by the music in my opinion. There are two PCM tracks, one stereo and another 5.1. I like listening to the multi-channel track and then using my Dolby surround up mixer for my 11.1 speakers. Definitely provides a nice enveloping audio experience using Dolby surround.As for the video, all of the shots look pretty sharp. Generally speaking. Even of the crowd.Don't need to say too much further if you're an AC/DC fan. I would say this is a must-have concert.

After watching this concert a few times I have concluded that they like AC/DC in Argentina.
Good lord the crowd is nuts on this one. This quickly has become one of my favorite live concert films. AC/DC is always great live, but the thing that makes this one unique is the insane level of crowd energy. They jump around and scream like crazy for every single song through the whole concert. I have never seen a crowd like this before. You really have to see it to believe it. And immediately you wish all of your favorite bands could do a concert film like this one with a crowd that was this into it from start to finish. The band is in top form, the Argentina crowd are completely out of their minds for AC/DC, and it's shot and edited super well. Just an amazing concert film with an audience that puts most other live crowds to shame. Love it!

2 thumbs up 👍👍
Sound quality is good. I play this blue ray in the car. Video and sound is great. I tested it on a big screen tv 80" and sound is good. But video looks better on a small screen. I am satisfied with this blu ray.
